Description

Tony Bennett displays a beautiful subtlety in the finest performance i have heard by a jazz vocalist. This double CD set (not billed as 2 CD, but it is, honest) presents the entire concert the maestro played to a packed Carnegie Hall in 1961; a legendary venue, and a truely legendary performance. He seems completely at ease with a diverse range of styles from the hard swinging 'Chicago' to the gentle simplicity of 'My Ship'. Songs by every great jazz composer from Gershwin to Weill to Arlen to Porter to the Duke, and everything in between. You'll also find all of his classics here from 'Rags tomore… Riches' to 'Stranger in Paradise' to 'San Francisco'. Long-time accompaniest Ralph Sharon leads an orchestra in fine form, bringing the superb arrangements to life with an energy that cannot be recreated in a studio.If you're new to the master, you'll be touched by the unique intimacy with which he brings the music to the listener; if you're a fan, you'll be thrilled by his most confident and exuberent performance on disc. For those who were there, this was a night to remember; for the rest of us, it's an album that must be listened to many, many times.
